GEEK SQUAD

Remember in high school when you teased the greasy haired, pimply kid who wore short pants and clip on ties? We thought we should warn you that he might be the one who holds your life in his hands the next time you make a life or death call to Geek Squad (they always say karma comes back to you). Geek Squad is the computer task force out to rid the technological world of demons, one customer at a time. Geek Squad was started in 1994, when founder Robert Stephens began with $200 and a bike. Since then Geek Squad has become a national service agency, with a memorable mantra all their own. Geek Squad "Precincts" can be found in Best Buys across the country, they also offer in home and call in services at a flat rate (which can save a lot of money compared to other providers who offer similar services). In 2004 this Minneapolis based company released The Geek Squad Technology User's Bill of Rights, that include things like the "right to bring your shoebox of photos into the 21st century, and the right to play computer games without stigma." Not only does Geek Squad make technology usable, they make an otherwise un-fun (a computer crash, a broken printer) experience rather enjoyable.
